I agree with you about age 25 - I want that to be teh age for legalizing marijuna as well, for similar reasons.

I'm very pro-freedom so I think - it's their body, if they want to use pot, let them. BUT... researh has shown that for those under 25, it CAN cause damage to cognitive function because the prefrontal cortex is not developed.

So I'd be all for making that a requirement for gun ownership as well.

Unlike you, I don't think the NRA is any worse than any other of that type of organization. America has a 2nd amendment for a reason. Racism has been one driver for gun control in the US, which I wrote an article about:

With Ted Cruz and Greg Abbott - they are politicians so I don't trust them, but I don't think they are worse than, say, Beto O'Rourke who showed up to grandstand when people were grieving. I can't stand any of them.

Feel free to disagree with me.
